THE TRAINS.
They Run Quite Regularly. Considering
the Distractions to Travel.

The train finally got through the
cut at Tikura, last evening, in time to
reach HALEY at 11;05. 1t then went
on to Ketchum, and, nothing unfore-
seen having detained it, returned to
HALEY in time to leave for Shoshone
at l 40 o'clock this morning. Reach
ing Shoshone about 4:30 a. m., the
crews of the snow.plow and regular
trains went to bed to get few hours
of much-needed rest, after their 20
hours OF exhausting labors in fighting
the cold and snow. About ii O'Clock
this morning the train LEFT Shoshone
on It's round trip up the Wood River
valley and back, and reached Haley,
north bound, at 3:45 o'clock this after.
noon.
Residents Of railway towns do con-
siderable grumbling at railroad COM
panies when trains fail to run on
schedule time; but if they understood
the almost insurmountable character
of the distractions in the way, they
would feel more like praising them.
On the Central Pacific it is not unus-
ual for as many as six or eight en-
gines to be required to haul trains
through the narrow passes of the
Sierra Nevadas, in localities where
two locomotives suffice to do the work
in ordinary weather.

English Rain. Watchers.
Here is the magic table:

A quarter of century ago Mr.. G..
T. Symons instituted the first general
series of rainfall observations ever
made in England. He has since then
gradually extended his system, and
there are now nearly 5000 observers,
no less than 2433 stations having fur
nished perfect records Of the rainfall
last year. Valuable in many ways as
this work may be to the English peo-
pie, the observers have not only rem
dered their services without compen-
sation, but have also borne most OF
the expense of making known the re-
suits of their observations.

The road up Croy gulch to Camas

Prairie are therefore compelled to
come via Bellevue.
Lewis N. Lisle having sold out his
ranch, about 81 miles west of Soldier,

will endeavor to supply all the butter,
milk and eggs needed on the Belt, as
he thinks that, If he succeeds in doing
so he will realize a fortune.
A second minister of the Gospel

Iowa and bought out L. N. Lisle's

Reckless Extrayagance.

At a hotel in Norwalk, Connect
cut, recently, a sleighing party of 40
reckless New Englanders stayed for
two hours. They monopolized the
house, danced, aud showed unmistak,
able indications OF being out for a
time, regardless Of expense. When
they departed, the landlord figured up
the receipts Of the evening, which he
found amounted to 10 cents. The two
nickels were carefully chained up,
and word was sent to the railroad
offices to prepare for accommodating
a cut rate excursion to California.

IMPORTANT DECISION,
What Constitutes q Valid Mining 10.
cation.

cation.
The United States Supreme Court,
in a recent decision, insists that to
make a valid mining location the
boundary side and end lines must be
distinctly marked on the surface, and
they must govern in any contest with
a junior location.
The Court says: "If the first locator
will not or cannot make the explora.
tions necessary to ascertain the true
course of the vein, and draws his lines
ignorantly, he must bear the conse-
quences. He can only assert a lateral
right to SO much of his vein as lies
between the vertical planes drawn
through those lines. Junior locators
will not be prejudiced thereby, though
subsequent explorations may show
that he has erred in his location"
Locators will perceive the necessity
of sufficiently exploring the discov-
cred vein before making final mark.
ing Of the boundaries of the claim
1t may appear upon such exploration
that the end lines as first fixed may
prove to be the side lines as the vein
actually runs. If the adjoining ground
has been claimed, there is no help for
the first claimant, and the width Of
his claim as located may become the
length when the true course of the
vein is found.

SPATTERINGS.

Jubilees now and heretofore have
been much the samoa deal Of
speech making and deal more of
refreshment for the inner man. The
ovation rendered to our successful
lobbyists on their return from Boise
was therefore up to the standard of
required excellence. While every
thing is rejoicing and feasting at the
county seat, one wonders the com.
plexion of things around the. cattle
camps. The cattle kings may be
feeding on the apples OF Sodom, and
letting envy prey on their damask
cheeks. But they can afford to, as
they have plenty of substantial beef
when their appetites return. Then
two years hence we'll see what we'll
see.
To the favored few who were on
the alert for the incoming of the new
snow-plow, last Tuesday, was pre-
sented magnificent spectacle. The
revolving wheel Of blades cut through
the mountains Of drifted snow and
sent it heavenward in fountain like
columns at least two feet wide and
thirty feet high, then threw it to the
right for a hundred feet or more.
One interested spectator at the depot
walked distance from the track, ex-
pecting to secure fine view. When
the train passed, no man was to be

ticed kissing the tips of each others

true that this fashion of OSCILLATION,

nent politicians were assembled at head
quarters, among them Charles Sumner and
Henry Wilson. Sumner was in the rear
room. Wilson in the front. In walked
Roberts. He talked in loud voice and
disturbed the whole assembly. Stepping
into the rear room, he spied Sumner in earn
est conversation with friend. Giving him
a tremendous slap on the shoulder, he
shouted: D"you, sumner; how are
you? Why don't you be as hearty and
genial as your friend Wilson,
1.-THE effect of this rough handling of
Sumner can readily be imagined by those
who remember or have read OF the dignifed
and scholarly man. 1t was not only a
shock, but an insult. Sumner turned as
white as sheet, but said nothing. He re-
allied Roberts condition and wisely kept
his peace. Roberts was severely repri-
manded and turned out of the room.
1T was not long after this that Roberts
came to want and grief. He was actually
destitute. He look hungry and was poorly
clad. In despair he came to me one day
for work or advice. The big tears rolled
down his cheeks as he told me how desti-
tute and degraded he was, and how he
longed TO reform. told him had no
work, and advised him to go to Sumner.
"'Go 10 Sumner he said. oh, no, in
suited Simmer short time ago. can't
co.
"'Yes you can,' 1 said. Go to him Just
as you have come to me. Tell him frankly
the whole story and he will help you
'Roberts did as 1 advised. About 10
o'clock the next morning he outtoned his
shabby coat around his neck to hide his
flannel shirt and made his way to the man
whom he had grossly insulted but short
time before. Sumner, il is well known,
was always late riser, and seldom break
tasted before IL o'clock. He received the
unfortunate man kindly, and, inviting him
to breakfast, listened patiently to his
story. Roberts told me afterward that
that was the first square meal he had eaten
for long time. In less than two days
Roberts was given a position in the navy
yard, and henceforth was a different man,
When he told me, later, his experience
with Sumner that morning, mis- eyes filed
with tears and his voice trembled with
emotion. 1t was magnanimous act on the
part Of Sumner, and an outward express
sion of his true character.
cit was the turning point in Roberts ca
reer. Only few months ago he delivered
one OF the best temperance speeches 1 ever
heard in my fife. Up to the day of his
death, which occurred quite recently, he
had great veneration for the memory OF
Sumner, the man who was so kind and
generous to him in trouble"

a NEW LEASE OF LIFE.

When one has been suffering the agonies
of a severe attack Of rheumatism, neural.
gia or sciatics. and relief comes, it seems as
if new lease of life had been granted.
Such have been the feelings of thousands
who, after trying physicians and number
less remedies, have used Athlophoros and
found to their great Joy that this medicine
really did cure these diseases.
W. d. Murphy, 80 Yandes street, In
dianapolis, Ind, says: MY rheumatism
dates way back about twenty-five years. 1
first contracted it in the war. l would
have at least two severe attacks every year,
but even between these attacks / would suf-
fer all the time, many times so that could
not walk or get up out of bed. / saw Ath-
lophoros advertised and sent for bottle
1t was in the afternoon l took the first
dose, and then at night / took another.
slept soundly that night; the next mern-
ing when ! awoke, to my surprise, l had
no pain. / took few doses more. / only
used about two-thirds of a bottle and my
rheumatism was all gone, and that is over
year ago. have recommended 1t to
many different ones. Ny confidence was
so great in the medicine that in several
instances l have bought it and given it to
different ones, saying at the time, il it
don't do its work you need not pay me for
it. Mrs. Wright, an aged lady of seventy,
living few miles from here, that has sut-
fered with rheumatism pains for
fifteen years-three or four bot
ties have entirely rid her of
all pain. Another lady, who thought
she was suffering from dyspepsia, instead
of which it was neuralgia of the stomach;
recommended her to use Athlophoros,
snd it soon cured her. 1 believe that all
suffering with rheumatism will take Ath-
lophoros; 1t Will cure ninety-nine cases out
of hundred. 1t is worth 500 q bottle to
all sufferers OF rheumatism"

and Athlophoros Pills, but where they can
